NomaDamas/CozyClay

Open source previs software in the browser: block a scene, pose characters, author camera moves and cuts, then take the same shots to an AI video model.

What it solves

CozyClay is a browser-based 3D staging studio that simplifies the process of blocking scenes, posing characters, and sequencing motion. It provides a local workspace where users can arrange set pieces, define character paths, and preview generated motion without needing a full-scale professional 3D suite.

How it works

Built with Three.js and React Three Fiber, the studio allows users to manipulate 3D primitives and characters using standard 3D editor gizmos. It integrates with a backend called Kimodo for AI-driven motion generation, where users can sequence "Prompt Blocks" on a timeline to create complex animations. Additionally, it implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI assistants like Claude to directly control the viewport, place characters, and generate motion using natural language commands.

Who it’s for

It is designed for filmmakers, animators, and creators who need to quickly prototype 3D scenes and sequence motion prompts for AI generation.

Highlights

  • AI-Driven Motion: Sequence multi-phase motion prompts on a timeline and generate animations via Kimodo.
  • MCP Integration: Direct the studio using an AI assistant to frame shots and place the cast via plain language.
  • ** uma 3D Staging Environment**: Full 3D editor capabilities including fly-cameras, grid snapping, and a comprehensive undo/redo history.
  • Low Friction Setup: Can be launched instantly via npx cozyclay with no complex dependency installation.
